I just went over to EBgames.com and looked to see if they were going to make that June 6th release date or not. I was shocked to find that the date has been set back to JUNE 26TH! Ack!!!
Now, I realize that there's still more to do and all, but for cripes sake, that's a whole 'nother month more that we gotta wait. I am going to go cry now... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif

Coffee....That reminds me - I need some! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif
Well, Kraellin, I think that Babbages and EB get their info from the same louts who don't bother to tell or ask about any of this via the traditional grapevine. I mean, CA/DT probably doesn't know what these people are spouting either. EA is more than likely the one who has to tell everyone to flip back those dates another month - at the middle of the month prior to the 3 weeks before said shipping date. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif
Right, now, I'm going to go to Starbucks and then get my Jeep worked on - THEN I am going to go eat - then I am going to come back here and hope that this was all a bad daydream!

Remember that whatever information the retailers have is always 1 step behind what EA has, and whatever information they have is always 1 step behind what the actual developers have, and whatever they have is always 2-3 steps behind from reality. In other words, nothing is certain. But, considering the retailers may be privy to a lot of information we don't have, there might well be a real foundation to their pessimism - it's happened before. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif
(BTW, not that I mind or anything, but why are there two topics about this in GD and none in the expansion forum? http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif )

guys,
I can't believe you actually believe the dates that stores and companies give you.
We will know before they do unless they have some sort of insider.

sadly my sixth sense is still alerting, i hope that is only for the campaign part of the add on...
and i dont accept a push back with the silly crap explanation of "be happy that it is pushed back, it will have less bugs"
that is nonsense....
Anssi Hakkinen
05-20-2001, 14:01
Why is it nonsense? Perhaps a clever deception by the developers to conceal their evil master plan to deliberately delay the expansion release and any profits they may gain from it? http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif

I'M very surprised that none of you got it right. We all know that the game will be out in two weeks like patch 1.13.
And two weeks from now, you will learn that.. it will be out in two weeks.
I guess that i will have to spend my game money on something else...any suggestions for a good open end (campaign not missions) strategy game?

Personally I don't mind when it released - as long they are bunging in loads of extra improvements and crushing those bugs...

Intersting development --
Both Target (a large US retailer) and a print ad that Amazon ran today (Sunday, May 20) advertised the expansion pack as if it was on the shelf. Think I'll go pound on the manager's desk and demand my copy...

A doublepost just went over the hills and far away.
Also, it seems someone is still stuck on the track many were on in March... Maybe Target and Amazon are too big to follow news on projects of this size regularly. Well, their mistake http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

No biggie, folks. Unlike the delayed release of the original, if the expansion is pushed back we still have our same old STW to play. Back then, the frustration was worse 'cause you had nothing to whet your appetite with. But now, we can still go online and clobber ourselves silly.

Yep can`t help but agree Vanya! I found out about the game in October of 1999, there was to be a release for Christmas for the original if I remember rightly. The game did not come out until July of 2000, 8 months later despite a number of release dates that came and went. Back then as many of us would remember so well, it was pure hell waiting and the forum was full of rumour and anger as the months passed. I would have hated to have been Richie at that time. Yep we have the original to play with and I am sure that if the next game is anywhere as good as what has been improved apon with that last few patches then the sequal will be worth the wait.
